During maybe two weeks into my track season I pulled my hamstring in a hurdle race pretty bad, I was out about maybe five weeks thus ending my chances for state. Starting from the first week I saw a massage therapist which helped me to at least start walking. He ran some microcurrent on my hamstring which helped greatly for about 3 weeks along with going to the local pool doing somestuff with an aqua jogger. But mainly what got me back into sprinting and hurdling was physical therapy. Ran some high speed stuff on the hamstring. Although that alone didn't get me to sprinting the physical therapist also taped my hamstring with a few pieces of tape. What he did was moved the muscle mass over to the side and tape it so it stays in place. What they told me was that the tape helps it reduce pain and helps me from pulling the hamstring again. The bottom line is I think that physical therapy is the best bet to getting back. Although the +700$ bill didnt go so well with the parrents.
